JUDGING PANEL
MIAC headquarters will organize a judging panel (Awards Committee) which will have a minimum of three people involved in the industry, or other appropriate individuals. The determination of the judging panel will be final.
How Entries Are Processed
Entries are first screened to verify eligibility. Each entry is then individually evaluated according to official judging criteria. Entries are judged by an Awards Committee composed of representatives from the industry's key sectors...manufacturing, distributing, and retail. The committee reserves the right to withhold awards in any category in which nominees do not meet expected levels of performance. The decision of the Committee is final.
Confidentiality
No entry material or notes made by the judges leaves the building, but entry material may be used to explain why a company or individual won during the Awards Announcement Ceremony. Any information included on the entry form that is confidential should be clearly marked as such. Please keep in mind that if an entire entry is marked confidential we will not be able explain why it won, if it is deemed the winner.
